Change: Restricting Module Visibility based on user's department

[andy_dufresne]

Is there anyway I can restrict a specific module to user's department?

When I edit the module, the visibility is based only on roles.

Any other alternatives to achieve this?

Thanks,

Possible.

Easiest way would be to do this via roles. Add a custom role to the users who needs to have access and use it to control access.

Hardest way would be to write a query business rule on modules table. This isn't so hard either.

Hi Andy,

You can try it with a before query BR on module table where you can check for module sysId

Can you restrict showing a module link by group instead of role?

Can you restrict showing a module/application menu by group instead of role

Thank you Kalai and Gaurav!

Creating roles is a good idea.   Instead of giving this access to *every* user who belongs to a specific department, is there anyway I can add this role to an user from that department.

Basically, I'm wondering if vice-versa is possible [add this role to that department].   This way I dont have to separately add this role to every user just their association with department should be good enough.

possible?

I even checked the 'department' table to see if I can establish a relationship:
